B—7 Nats Bow to Harder in 2-1 Tilt : Reach Finals in Two Net Events @ ONLY S HITS MADE OFF TRIBE HURLER Kress, With Three, Brings Home Lone Run Yielded by Cleveland Ace. BY FRANCIS E. STAN, Btaff Correspondent of The Star. LEVELAND, June 20.— The opportunity - stubbing Na- tionals, bats muffled by Mel Harder's curve ball, dropped their second straight game to the In- dians today, 2 to 1, and slipped into a third-place tie with their con- querers. ‘They still were gulping at press time, so hard was the defeat to swallow. Out in the pitching box for the Washingtca entry a little guy named Joe Cascarella, desperately trying to make good, pitched his arm off in op- position to Harder. In some respects he outpitched the Cleveland ace, but they're still paying off on the final score. Harder, reputedly not the pitcher as of yore, looked different to the Nationals. Breaking off his curve ball, he held the Griffmen to five well-scat- tered hits acd, with the aid of a con- crete infield and the best wishes of the diamond deities, registered his eighth | victory of the season. | ‘The real heart throb, however, was for Cascarella, a member of the Wash- ington club for less than a week. Joe gave the Indians eight hifs. half of which were made in the first inning. He walked two batters to Harder’s four. The Griffs could have given the curver-crocer & better break than the defeat that was foisted upon him. Gleeson's Hit Hurts. BVIOUSLY unsettled at the start, Cascarella might have got away without a 1-0 deficit in the first in- ning, but for a fluke hit by Jimmy Gleeson. He pitched a single to Roy | Hughes to open the game, but when Clif Bolton threw out Hughes on an attempted steal. Joe was spotted a fresh start. He then got Bill Knicker- bocker on a fly to Travis. but Averill | £hot a single to center and Hal Trosky doubled against the trick fence m! ‘} right fleld, It was ihe kind of.a cheap hit that made Averill stop at third Here the radio crooner, late of the Red Sox, tasted the dregs of adversity Gleeson pounded & curve ball into the ground aad it beunced like a tennis ball off stone steps. By the time Red Kress caught it and threw it to first | base, Gleeson was safe and Averill was over the plate. Kress, who represented practically the entire Washington offense, was responsible for tying up the game in the fifth inning. The red-head sin- gled off that joke rightfield fence and moved up when Ossie Bluege walked. Cascarella laid down a sacrifice bunt, but when Third Baseman Sammy Hale attempted to catch Bluege at so ond the bases were loaded with nobody out. So Omly Kress Scores. T WAS the Nationals’ big oppor- tunity to win the ball game, and when Ben Chapman rifled a liner toward rightfield the prospects mo- mentarily looked great. Glesso grabbed the ball. however, and Kress tagged up to score. Buddy Lewis then flied to Averill and Cecil Travis grounded weakly to Trosky to end it. Opportunity knocked twice more for | the Nationals during the game. With one down in the sixth Joe Kuhel reached base on an error by Hughes and, after Bolton had flyed out, Harder walked Kress and Bluege to fill the bases.

Fy the Associated Press ROOKLY June 20.—Young Ken ODea’s pinch single in the ninth with the bases loaded gave the Chicago Cubs a 6-to-4 victol over the Dodgers today, stret the Cubs’ winning streak to 14 straight. Up to that time Larry French and Tom Baker had engaged in a pitching duel, after relieving Bill Lee and Lefty Clark, respectively, in the second in- ning. Frank Demaree’s single and walks to Woody English and Phil Cavaretta set the stage for O'Dea’s win-producing blow off Baker. Each club had scored four runs in the first two innings, the Cubs getting | one in the first and three in the sec- ond, while the Dodgers put together four hits for as many runs in a second- inning drive against Lee, The win pulled the Cubs up to a game from the pace of the league- leading St. Louis Cards. Bklvn B age being what it Is, Cascarella had to | b bat for Cascarella, and he tried to beat out a bunt to Trosky. He failed by a step, and that was that It was after two were down in the last half of the sixth that Cleveland scored the winning run. Cascarella | gave up his second base on balls to | Hale and the Tribe infielder stole sec- | ond by sliding around Bolton's semi- wide throw. Joe Vosmik, hitherto helpless, then singled to center to score Hale, making it 2-1. Bluege Misses in Pinch. WASHINGTONS only other chance to do any damage came in the eighth inning. With two out, Bolton | slashed a single off Harder's glove and | moved to second base when Kress | Chicago propelled his third straight hit through | Jtflcnnt none in * the infield. It thus was put up to| Bluege, but Ossie wasn't hitting loday. He sent a soft grounder to Hale, who forced Bolton at third, unassisted. That hit by Boyton, plus a first- Inning single by Travis, plus Kress' three hits, comprised the Washington attack in its entirety, unless you want to include waiting out bases on balls. Cascarella distributed his hits to the Indians almost impartially, only | Frankie Pytlak getting more than one | and only Hale and Harder getting none.

Despite their second straight beating at the hands of the Indians today, Washington's prospects are not dis- | couraging, Tomorrow, for the final | | game of the Tribe series, Earl White- hill will start the pitching and indi- cations are that Steve O'Neill must bank on a rookie, Dennis Galehouse.

In com- Louis, % | petition both at home and in the baili- wick of the Browns the Harrismen have lost only once in eight games ? | and, with Jimmy De Shong and Buck Newsom slated to open the hurling in " | St. Louis, Washington figures to hold a decisive edge. DAY'S game, resulting in a 2-to-1 loss for Buck Harris’ crew, wound up what, nevertheless, was a successful week in the West for the Washing- tonians. As they go into tomorrow's finale here they will show a record of 3 victories in 5 tilts. For all of the beatings sustained here Harris’ club looks more formidable today than at any time this season. In Joe Cascarella, the pitcher- crooner obtained from the Red Sox, Bucky may have discovered a fourth starter to take his turn with De Shong, Newsom and Whitehill. The effort today of Joe certainly cast a big vote in his favor. For a right- hander to limit Cleveland to eight hits in its made-to-order ball park is no insignificant feat. Then, too, there is that relief pitching victory Cascarella turned in at Detroit last Tuesday. Joe, apparently, has plenty of stuff on the ball. Today he flashed & sharp- breaking curve and mixed it up with a sneaky fast ball and a good change of pace, His control to date has been all “1at could be asked for. ..;ery way he chose to look at it today, Harris could see Washington getting the better of the two deals that brought Cascarella and Ben Chapman to the Nationals’ fold.

C. Nieet, but Suffers Loss in Doubles Tilt. ISING to the occasion, which called for an inspired brand of tennis in defense of the title she won a year ago, Mary Cootes, once beaten by Edith Clarke this season and later eliminated from the chance to meet her again, re- tained her District of Colimbia women’s tennis championship at Co- lumbia Country Club yesterday, sub- duing her former conqueror in straight sets, 6—2, 6—2. An hour later, though, Miss Clarke gained partial revenge when she and her doubles partner, Margaret Cars- pecken Robinson, repeated the tri- umph they scored in the City of Wash- ington tournament by defeating Miss Cootes and Mrs. Nathan Wyeth for the doubles title. Like the singles match, it also was a straight-set decision, 6—2, 6—1. Shows Her Elation, AT THE end of the momentous match in which she evened the score with Miss Clarke for the latter's victory in the finals of the Old Do- minion tournament at Richmond last month, Miss Cootes was s0 overcome that she wept for sheer joy. Keyed to the highest pitch, the champion had maintained her tenseness through- out the two sets in which she out- steadied her rival, playing deep, forc- ing shots to Miss Clarke’s court. Never was Edith able to flash the tennis which carried her to the finals of the two previous tournaments, but her inability to live up to her recent performances was a result of her conqueror’s setting the pace, rather than to any flaw in her own play.

SEE THE SENSATIONAL KNOCKOUT! JUNIORS ANDBOYS - INTITLE MATCHES Johnson, Ritzenberg Tackle | Champs—Rival Newsies Singles Opponents. BY BILL DISMER, JR. USHING along at a pace in keeping with their youth, junior and boy tennis players of the District accelerated progress in The Star’s city of Wash- ington tournament to such an exten vesterday that two of the four cham- pionships will be decided at the Edge- moor Club this afternoon. Victorious in two matches while today's opponents were winning their semi-final, David Johnsen and Allie Ritzenberg won the right to play Charley Channing and Harry March for the junior doubles championship at 4 pm. today. Immediately after that match two 14-year-olds, carrier boys for The Star and the Post, will meet for the | boys’ singles title. They are Bob Kirk, tousle-haired deliverer of these page each afternoon, and Leonard Sok wiry, black-thatched distributor of th Post. At 11 o'clock this morning Ritzen- berg, seeded No. 1 singles entrant, will face the challenge of Charley Channing, Central High School net captain and contender for the right to meet March, Channing’s bosom pal, for the junior title. March entered the final round yesterday by turning back Ralph (Buddy) Adair in the first of two hot matches in which both were rivals, by scores of 6—4, T—5. Nearly Score Upset. ‘CHA“I\ING entered the semi-final bracket when he repulsed the threat that lay in the bat of little David Johnsen, 6—1, 6—2. But although the March-Adair and Channing-Johnsen set-tos were real thrillers, despite the lopsided scores of the latter, the big kick of the aay | came late in the afterncon when tt junior doubles team of Billy Turne and Adair came within one game of taking their semi-final match from the defending champions and seeded No. 1 team of Channing and March. Throwing a scare into the champs when thi 6—3, they conti e with a barrage of smashes and drives that belied their younger ages, car- rying Channing and March to 6—3 before surrendering the match-tying | set. It was in the final set, however, that the underdogs staged their real bid for fame, holding leads of 3—2, 4—3 and then, within reach of the budding upset, at 5—4. But March deuced the set and match with blinding service in the tenth game and he and his teammate cracked Turner's serve in the eleventh. The young ot give up though, and, with elimi on staring | them in the face, sent the next game's score to deuce after Channing had | Tun his service to 40-15, A weak return of one of Charley's serves brought the match to a close two points later. Worthy Foes for Champs. ALTHOLGH Johnsen and Ritzen- berg were forced to play twice as mar' matches as Channing and March, Mn_l( yumner of the 1936 Indianapolis Speed- who had gained yesterday's semi-final post by playing on Priday, the manner in which they won them left little doubt that they will be worthy oppo- nents of the champs this afternoon. | Just before noon, David and Allie romped through two easy sets with Dewitt Smith and Bob Chichester, 6—0, 6—1, with an apparently much harder task still ahead. But the pres- sure they applied also to the bigger brother team of John and Mac Hatch, | erstwhile net stars of Western High, gained them many supporters who will see them almost on even terms with | today's opponents.

March will play the winner of the | Ritzenberg-Channing match for the singles title on Tuesday, when the finals of the boys' doubles tournament, starting tomorrow, also will be held. | Prizes to all winners and semi-finalists will be awarded at that time, SEEK OLYMPIC BERTHS Three D.
